The New York Air Show Lands in the Hudson Valley

This year the Air Dot Show Tour will land at Orange County Airport at 500 Dunn Road, Montgomery, NY on August 10th and 11th, 2024. Hudson Valley residents are always so excited for the show to come to town as they put on a spectacular show.

This year, The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will fly the F-16 Fighting Falcons while performing a "combination of formation and solo maneuvers in an inspiring, patriotic, high energy demonstration."

You'll see loops, inverted rolls, and high-performance turns!

Joining the Thunderbirds will be Frecce Tricolori, West Point Parachute Team, UH-72A Lakota, and more.

A True War Hero on Display at The New York Air Show

This week, the New York Air Show announced a special addition to their line-up this year.

The legendary C-47 "Placid Lassie" will be on static display at the 2024 Air Dot Show Tour in Montgomery. According to the New York Air Show, the Placid Lassie is a "true war hero" that was built in 1943.

The Placid Lassie played a "critical role during World War II" as the Air Show explains it flew during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944.  The Air Show writes:

Unlike many restored warbirds, "Placid Lassie" is the real deal—these very rivets crossed the English Channel and helped shape history.

You can learn more about the Placid Lassie and "honor the legacy of the brave crews who flew her" on August 10th and 11th at the Orange County Airport in Montgomery, New York.
